State education minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama declared that the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) has canceled the class 12 board Examinations. This happened after the Modi Government announced that the CBSE board examinations will be canceled this year because of the Covid-19 epidemic. The CISCE has also decided to postpone the class 12 examinations.
The Gujarat Board has already declared that the class 12 board examinations would be given in an offline format in July 2021. Due to the current epidemic, however, only 20 students will be permitted to attend the class. For the exam, a total of 6 lakh 83 thousand candidates had enrolled.
For the class SSC 10 board exams in Gujarat, CM Vijay Rupani had declared that mass promotion will be granted to all the students. He had tweeted on his official Twitter handle, dated May 13, that the decision was taken in view of the current situation. “An important decision was taken today in the wider interest of the students of Std-10 SSC of the state. Considering the current state of transition of corona, the decision to give adequate mass promotion to regular students in Std-10 SSC this year was taken in the core committee meeting held today,” he had tweeted. Not just class 10, mass promotion was also granted to class 9 and 11 students as well.
Several state boards including Haryana have also cancelled the exams. The state education minister Kanwar Pal said, “We have also decided to cancel the Class 12 board exams in the state which were to be conducted by the Haryana Board of School Education.”
